Jamie Foxx revealed how he reacted to the rumors that began circulating back in 2023 involving him and Diddy.
When it comes to celebrities, conspiracy theories about them are a dime a dozen, and are often so ridiculous that most stars don’t even bat an eyelid at them.
Not Jamie Foxx though; the actor decided to finally address the rumors that have been circulating about him and Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs since 2023.
As the world learns more about Comb’s alleged behavior the conspiracy theories surrounding the rapper and producer and other celebrities have only grown.

Combs was arrested in September 2024 and charged with racketeering and sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion.
He has denied all of the charges against him.
The prosecution has taken a keen interest in his infamously named ‘freak off’ parties where the illegal actions are alleged to have taken place.

The many parties that Diddy had while being a big name in the industry were also often attended by all manner of celebrities, ultimately giving life to many of the conspiracy theories.
The theory involving Combs and Foxx suggests that the producer ‘tried to kill him’ back in 2023 when he had his medical emergency.
Speaking during a Hollywood Reporter roundtable, Foxx explained how he became aware of the rumors.

Speaking of his time in hospital, he said: “I snuck in my phone because I didn’t know what the outside world was saying and I couldn’t get my mind around the fact that I had a stroke. I’m in f****** perfect shape.”
“[I see things like,] ‘Puffy tried to kill me.’ No, Puffy didn’t try to kill me.”
This wasn’t the only rumor that was doing the rounds at the time, and Foxx even joked that this other rumor seemed to frustrate him more.
The other rumor alleged that Foxx was ‘being cloned’ and would return to the limelight, but not quite as himself... yeah something straight out of a movie.

Foxx joked: “When they said I was a clone, that made me flip. I’m sitting in the hospital bed, like, ‘These b****-*ss motherf****** are trying to clone me.”
Jamie Foxx has previously spoken about his near-death experience after initially only experiencing a headache.

After seeing a doctor, the actor’s younger sister took him to another hospital for further checks due to the concern she had for him.
It's here he was given the chilling news he'd suffered a brain bleed that led to a stroke.
To this day, the cause of the brain bleed is still unknown. Foxx said: "It is a mystery. We still don't know exactly what happened to me. All I can tell you is that I appreciate every prayer because I needed every prayer."
The actor, 56, entered a coma and re-emerged in May 2023, wheelchair bound and unable to walk.
